A vote for Romney is a vote for Satan

Yup, I see, explain to me who else is a cult? And provide the definition YOU are using for a cult.

Since Both Mormons and Jehovah Witnesses worship and believe in God and Jesus, does that mean everyone that worships and believes in these two "supernatural" beings are in a cult also?
 
Here is a definition of Cult... though i suspect it isnt quite what you mean...

Nowadays the term 'cult' has a variety of meanings, as evidenced by this dictionary entry:

1. : formal religious veneration : worship
2. : a system of religious beliefs and ritual; also : its body of adherents
3. : a religion regarded as unorthodox or spurious; also : its body of adherents
4. : a system for the cure of disease based on dogma set forth by its promulgator <health cults>
5. a : great devotion to a person, idea, object, movement, or work (as a film or book); especially : such devotion regarded as a literary or intellectual fad
b : a usually small group of people characterized by such devotion

I can live with 1, 2 and even 3, and 5b once was correct as well, in regards my Church.

If your claiming that we worship something else, be specific.
 
a little help! ;)

i don't want to butt in, but Unitarians and Gnostics are Christian religions that also do not believe in the trinity...
 
Why does anyone give a shit whether or not Romney is a Mormon, a Catholic, Hindu, Muslim or Jew? It's, ultimately irrelevant. Religion is and rightly should be a private affair, between a person, their family and their faith. A persons faith will shape their interactions with those around them, and the larger world in general, but it is ultimately a private matter.

<blockquote><b>5</b> And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.

<b>6</b> But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly. - Matthhew 6:5-6</blockquote>

Why don't we do that? Pure ego...Someone HAS to be right. Only in the case of religion, so long as their faith doesn't lead them to the harm of themselves or others, everyone is right. Deal with it.
 
Matthews Accuses Romney of 'Sucker Punch;' Sharpton Offers Non-Apology Apology
Posted by Mark Finkelstein on May 10, 2007 - 18:30.
Al Sharpton, victim?

Yup -- according to Chris Matthews. The MSNBC host suggested that Mitt Romney had landed a "sucker punch" on Sharpton in reacting to the reverend's assertion that "true believers" will defeat the Mormon in the presidential race. Matthews laced his interview with Sharpton on this afternoon's "Hardball" with a number of comments painting Sharpton as the offended, not the offender.

After playing a tape of Sharpton's remark, and Romney's response in which he characterized Sharpton's comment as bigoted, Matthews went off on a riff.

View video here.

MSNBC HOST CHRIS MATTHEWS: Do you think they're jumping on you? Are they trying to make you into Sistah Souljah a la 1992? Do you think he's tagging you for political gain on the right? . . . Do you think you might be getting tagged pretty hard here because Romney, being pretty astute politically, sees you as a great target not just because you're a Democrat but also because you were very tough in bringing down Don Imus and he says, well, this guy's up on a pedestal; I'm going to knock him off, and that way everybody's gonna say he's a hypocrite. You could say it's a sucker punch, or a Sunday punch, but clearly Romney is swinging for the fences against your head. There's no doubt about what's going on here.

I'm just saying you're a big target Reverend. You know, every time you climb up the ladder a little bit, your rear-end gets bigger. That's just a fact of public life. You are a big man this year, you're bigger now than you were four, the last time you ran for president, three years ago, you're a much bigger fella, and the defeat of Don Imus, which was a career defeat, you were seen as the ramrod of bringing him down. So you have to understand that someone like Romney, who is probably looking for a way to distance himself from the left politically and a chance to bring down somebody big, this is a chance for him, isn't it? Isn't that what he's doing, rightly or wrongly?
For his part, Sharpton had the smoke-and-dust machine turned on full blast, obfuscating his "true believer" remark and offering a classic non-apology apology. Excerpts:

THE REVEREND AL SHARPTON: How Romney reads all of that [the accusation of bigotry] into the line [Sharpton's original "true believer" remark] you just said is kind of appalling to me, but, it's politics I guess on his side. . . I said let's not worry about the Mormon candidate because true believers, meaning, not atheists, we're not going to rely on an atheist vote, we're going to vote. [I didn't say he would be beaten] because he was a Mormon. . . I'm glad to say that I talked today with two of the leaders of the top apostles group of the Mormon church. I said to them I was certainly not being anti-Mormon. I'm going to go see them in Utah. I would apologize to Mormons.I've said if I've offended Mormons with the misuse of my words I would apologize to Mormons.

Romney was my governor and I never once saw him mix his religion with governing massachusetts, his religion was NOT at all an issue!

Massachusetts is a fairly liberal state and we elected Romney, regardless of his religion.... it appears to me that those that have issues with Romney's religion are more conservative or republicans?

Here is a list of "cults" If you look you will see Mormons and JW's on the list...

http://www.factnet.org/CultGroups.html#M

Listen before the attack... I could'nt care less... I'm just trying to explain why being a Mormon could be a problem for a presidential canidate... Many people consider the religion a cult...
 
Does it relly matter anyway... In my opinion... If you have accepted Jesus Christ as your personal savior your saved... No matter what any Earthly definition of Chrisianity is....
 
This pompous, self-righteous, “we versus them” mentality is really saddening to me.
Who are we to sit back on our high horse and say, “You are not a Christian”. What a bunch of hateful divisive garbage. Can we really speak for God so confidently and make such an all-important judgment call?

The first link is absolutely an anti- Catholic very poor source of information...
 
I'm sure they are... but I tried to find sites with some credibility...

Fair and balanced may be tough to find when it comes to this type of religous information...

Oh well. Biased sites or not, the point that I was trying to make was that pompous, self-righteous people will join a team, denomination, cult, whatever, and routinely criticize the other team as being un-Christian. Do you remember The Mississippi Squirrel Revival
